If I Could, Then I Would

Oh mistakes:)
Hint to you all:
DON'T LET YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS TEXT FOR YOU.
It sucks.
Way bad.
Haha, but no matter.

I am loving the weather.
I can just sit on my bed with the window wide open to let some fresh air into my bedroom,
without freezing my butt off:)
I can drive around with my windows down,
I can go to school without a jacket now,
I can start wearing other things besides pants,
((although I already wore skirts a lot before))
And the best thing:
I can get my "feel good" sunshine rays naturally,
versus using my "happy light" ((but it worked well when I used it during winter:)))

I still love cloudy days where the sun doesn't shine,
and the clouds make shapes across the sky as rain is released from them,
and the puddles form everywhere,
but every so often, the sun's bright light,
and clear blue skies, and warmth
can be quite comforting:)

Another thought I had today as I was walking across campus...
I have decided to change "grumpy day" soundtrack.
I usually listen to Pandora when I need fresh music,
and I started today off by listen to my hard music because I wasn't too happy.
But as I was starting to walk to my class,
I decided to make a "LDS Hymns of Worship" station.
Rather than making me remember all of the reasons why I was upset,
making me even more down and angry,
it made me think of things that actually matter.
It made me think of the Savior and how I can turn to him to comfort me,
It made me look around and see others as Children of God
and it made me happy:)

It is now my new favorite way to "de-tox" from things I don't need to worry about it.

Try it. It's great:)

haha. and the part that made me the happiest inside,
I was walking around the hallway with my headphones in,
and no one would have ever guessed that I was listening to church music:)

just what I needed



Just when you feel like you absolutely hate the world,
something great can happen.
I was texting my friend last night when he asked me,
"Do you want to call and read scriptures with me?"
So of course I did.
We read Luke 4 together.
Then we continued to talk about spiritual experiences together and he told me about his conversion story until midnight.
He is such a doll!
But I feel bad because he had to wake up at 4:30 this morning.....
But he completely turned my night around.
I think more guys should be like that. Just saying:)
I think I am going to try to do that with people more often.
I am going to ask people if they would like to read the scriptures with me over the phone.
Because there is always a first for everything.
If you ever want to read with me, Just text me:)
It really does make a difference, so you should try it.
Tis all.

Haha, now I am in Physics on the computer....
Dumb CRT testing.
Oh well, I got Pandora going and I am writing on my blog, what could be better?
Happy Testing month!!

trying to be better

I love my best friends.
They have helped me through so much in my life.
If I didn't have them,
I would be a completely different person.
No doubt about that.
Even my friends who I am not so close to.
They are constantly inspiring me to be better,
I look up to them and their great examples.
In my last post about wanting to hurt them...
Well, lets just say my feelings have changed.
I really have been striving to become stronger in the church
and build my testimony about the gospel.
I have recently gotten an "I'm a Mormon" page
[Thanks to Heather, which I actually read on her blog and such]
I have been trying my best and I have really seen the blessing come through.
I pray before I go into tests,
and the next thing you know, I remember an answer that I need!
I pray before I go to help out a friend,
and I know exactly what to say and I feel like I got my message across.
I pray before everything challenging,
and everything turns out just perfectly:)

If I may suggest a book to every girl,
It would be Diary of a Teenage Girl: Caitlin O'Conner
It is a mixture about a 16-17 year old girl
who is dating and is becoming a stronger Christian.
She is not LDS sadly,
but it has really helped me focus on my testimony
and make some important commitments in my life.
I think I like it because I can relate to Caitlin a lot.
Elisha never really liked it,
But I DO:):)

Anyway:)
I'm grateful for this gospel.
And this is a great video that inspires me.
It is the person I want to be the most in my life.
A virtuous Daughter of God.
